Professional Reviews

New York Times Book Review: "The book may be steeped in the work of the great moral writers...but it is by no means an academic tome. In addition to its directness and clarity, well conveyed by Catherine Temerson's translation, it is pretty much aimed at moral improvement rather than textual interpretation, the trademark obscurantism of second-rate academe or the meta-ethical questions...that have given much of postwar moral philosophy in English-speaking countries its constipated pallor."
